MaxCoin | CPU Cloud Mining Guide | MAX VPS // has been LAUNCHED@6.2/7:30 GMT

Unless the maxcoind process is hiding, I'm not seeing it when I run:

Code:

ps x

Unfortunately, I'm still seeing the "error: couldn't connect to server" message.

Any advice?

[instacalm]

Has anyone found so much as 1 coin via this method?

If you solo mine you can only find 1 block at a time which for MaxCoin is 96 coins. Due to the difficulty of currently ~200 it is really hard to find blocks solo.

POOLS are absolutely required now and we should look out for them.

PS. I have only 1 Block, 96 coins.

HALP!

Seriously about to start pulling my hair out. This is one of the most frustrating things I've tried to do in my life. Appreciate all the help instacash

AspireMining, I am extremely sorry for this and I am completely stressed out as well. My droplets do have connections now... However, it frustrates me that they didn't come up with working pools at launch time as it was promised. I consider their launch to be chaotic.

Have you added all the nodes posted in the thread to your config? If so, did you double check whether you saved the config with those nodes? If you have them added, properly killed and relaunched maxcoind, it has to work! The network is apparently indeed under heavy load atm.

My 3 droplets:
1.    "connections" : 29,
2.    "connections" : 34,
3.    "connections" : 16,

read the above - due to current difficulty this method is no longer valid

Thank you so much instacash. I am up and running, you did a great job here. I am running with 11 connections. Also where can I check the hasrate that I am atm? Will ever find a block, if so how much time aproximately?
Again thanks a lot for all the hard work. I will send you some maxcoins for sure

I am trying to cloud mine
./minerd -a keccak -o 127.0.0.1:1925 -u maxcoinrpc -p my password


Here is my maxcoin.conf
# Seed nodes
addnode=maxcoin.cloudapp.net
addnode=maxcoinus.cloudapp.net
addnode=maxcoinasia.cloudapp.net
addnode=maxexplorer.cloudapp.net
addnode=213.179.202.19
addnode=91.121.8.25

# Enable RPC
server=1

# RPC information
rpcuser=maxcoinrpc
rpcpassword=mypassword
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=1925



# Mining
gen=1

Any ideas why I can't connect?  I always get a json_rpc_call failed, retry after 30 seconds error.  I have tried everything I can think of, it usually works fine in a pool...

[ARE5]

is there a working pool online?

Refreshing this thread, because it's the only place, where information is represented in usable and clear way. You are awesome, Instacash. You really are.

If you catch a block you can see it under    "balance" : 0.00000000,

Please note that due to the high difficulty it is really hard to solomine now and hence takes a long time to find a block. Please look out for pools and switch over to pool mining as soon as possible.

Sorry for any inconvenience caused, I hope you're all doing well!

Well after doing the process 3 times over to make sure it was done right. Still didn't work.

I logged out of putty and started a new SSH session. Followed the steps and now I'm sitting at a mighty "1" connections. Although it keeps loosing connection and keeps going back to "0"

How much money do you need in your account to use the 8 core droplets?
